Alaska was the leading state in both the volume and value of fishery landings once again in 2015.
That's according to a federal report released Wednesday from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Fishery landings in Alaska accounted for 62 percent of the national total by volume, and 34 percent of the national total by value.
Alaska landed 6 billion pounds of seafood, valued at $1.8 billion, last year at its commercial fisheries.
For the 19th year in a row, the port at Dutch Harbor had the highest volume of commercial seafood landed in the country, at 787 million pounds, breaking its record of 777 million pounds set in 2007. Nearly 90 percent of last year's landings there, in volume, was Alaska pollock.
